Taste Test – Bundaberg Ginger Beer

Bundaberg Ginger Beer is craft brewed from handed down from a family recipe and made with Australian ginger. Ginger beer is a sweetened, carbonated non-alcoholic beverage which originated during the colonial spice trade with the fermentation of ginger.

It tastes similar to ginger ale but with a much stronger ginger flavor. It is hard to put into words but you can taste the quality of the ingredients and processing.

Taste Test – Vegemite

Vegemite is a thick, dark brown Australian food spread made from leftover brewers’ yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives. It was developed by Cyril Callister in Melbourne, Victoria in 1922. To Australian children this is the equivalent to peanut butter and jelly to American children. Alex and I like trying new foods so we ordered a bottle and tried it out.
